Can the Auto Start-Stop Function Use a Regular Battery?
1 Answers
It is possible to replace the auto start-stop battery with a regular battery. Here are the reasons: 1. Vehicles equipped with the start-stop function use AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) enhanced batteries, which are designed to handle higher current demands. Similarly, the starter motors in these vehicles also require higher operating currents compared to standard ones. 2. Although both types operate at 12V, the enhanced starter motor needs an AGM battery due to the difference in current requirements. A regular battery may not provide sufficient starting current, fail to power the starter motor adequately, or lack the necessary starting power, which could eventually damage the starter motor over prolonged use. 3. Even if a regular battery works initially, it may lead to a series of issues in the future.
